Hi there!
I'm Farm Guy - I was raised on a farm in England, though I've lived in Texas since the 90s. My wife, City Girl, grew up in Colorado, and has never lived on a farm or in the country.
We're small-scale backyard farmers, and we currently have three Rhode Island Reds and two Ameraucanas. They're not just for eggs - we use them also for insect and pest control, and for fertilizing/tilling the soil. We have a well enclosed yard so we let them free-range. We use them as waste processors, and use the land they 'process' for vegetables the following year.
We're also in the odd position that, unlike ALL of our neighbors, we have NO tree shade, so we've been planting some shade trees that should be well on the way to full grown by the time we hit retirement.
We'll both be sharing this account, and are looking forward to joining in.
